The famous and beautiful story of the prodigal son is the Gospel reading of today's Holy Mass on this 4th Sunday of Lent, Laetare Sunday.
Laetare is Latin for rejoice and this Sunday has that name because the word laetare appears in the Entrance Antiphon of Mass. But isn't it also right that we should rejoice that God the Father through Christ has shown us such love and mercy, and does so time and time again to forgive our sins in the Sacrament of Confession?
